Yeah, the RPMs in the ati driver repository are broken, and the ati driver installer you download directly from the website is a mess. If it helps you, I posted a howto build the RPMs using the OBS instead Its a bit more bandwidth intensive than compiling it yourself, but it results in a cleaner package - the same quality as the ati repository but up-to-date and working. I did this for the recent 10.9 (8.771) driver release and have been enjoying life since. http://masterpatricko.blogspot.com/2010/09/building-ati-fglrx-rpms-for-opens...
This looks very interesting.
Will this work for a Mobility Radeon X1400 chipset with the 10.9 driver?
I travel with my laptop a lot, and I find that my Android phone is actually faster with Google Earth then the Core 2 Duo using mesa.
The instructions wont work exactly as I posted them - you need Catalyst 9.3 (8.593) instead, but this is also available from the OBS. Follow the instructions I gave, but substitute "ati-fglrxG01" instead of G02 in the checkout stage, and don't change the source versions - leave them at 8.593. If you get stuck let me know. The package includes patches to build against kernel-2.6.33. Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
